MEET YOUR INDUSTRY

We live in a dynamic time for talent acquisition and training. Whether a company's on the edge of brand-new technology or has found its niche in a lesser-known area, recruiting team members with perfectly-aligned job experience can be a struggle. New hires often bring skillsets that are applicable to their roles, but lack knowledge of the industry they're joining. A good learning team fills that knowledge gap early and often.

​

I truly enjoy industry training. It helps team members orient their work within the company's mission and business objectives, i.e. the why behind their day-to-day tasks. Industry knowledge is also super interesting, and gives team members a sense of mastery over their role that increases job satisfaction.

 

Here are a few examples from an Industry Basics path I designed for the advertising technology (aka adtech) field.  â€‹â€‹

Learning Path I structured, wrote and designed for team members new to the industry.

GO-TO-MARKET 

I've worked in several product-focused environments. The go-to-market (GTM) function is one of my favorite areas of the business to support. In learning, our role is primarily to equip internal team members with the knowledge and resources they need to explain, sell, and optimize new releases. 

​

I've created a few sample deliverables that demonstrate my typical work in the GTM cycle:​
